Google+ and Blogger now available via GAE

April 24, 2012 at 3:52 pm

We are pleased to announce that the web committee recently approved enabling Google+ and Blogger in Beloit College’s Google Apps for Education (GAE) environment. These applications are a welcome addition to Beloit's GAE environment, as we have already had requests from a number of faculty who wish to use them in their classes. You should now see these applications as options on the list in the top-right-hand corner of the screen when you are logged into any of Beloit's GAE applications. You may also click on the Google+ and Blogger links to access the apps directly and log in with your @beloit.edu account.

Before you start to use Blogger or Google+, you should be aware that the content you place in these two applications is not governed by the college’s data confidentiality agreement with Google. Information placed in Google+ or Blogger is subject to data mining by Google. This does include situations where the web access to the content is restricted.
